Math
Students in the middle grades represent real numbers using manipulatives, pictures, number lines, and symbols in a variety of contexts. Relationships among rational numbers are explored and equivalence among fractions, decimals, and percentages is recognized and explained. Students extend their understanding of place value to decimal and scientific notation and use the properties of real numbers, including zero, one, and inverses. Numerical comparisons are expressed as ratios and rates and problems are solved using ratio, proportion, and percent.

Students develop fluency in computation with rational numbers as well as with relationships among numbers, including primes, composites, factors, and multiples. They explain exponents and square and cube roots of numbers, develop skills with estimation and mental computation, and use calculators appropriately.

Major Concepts and Skills include:

Negative rational numbers
Percent
Transformations in the coordinate plane
Probability
Equations and inequalities
Multiplication and division of non-negative rational numbers
Solving relevant and authentic problems using appropriate technology and applying these concepts as well as those developed in earlier years.
